What it means
F01515 is raised when a write to a parameter is not permitted because the master control is active. The manual ties this to two BICO operations: changing the number of CDS, and copying from a CDS. The same condition can also be signalled as an alarm (A) instead of a fault; which form the drive uses depends on its configuration.
Why it appears
- The number of CDS was being changed while the master control was active.
- A copy was being made from a CDS while the master control was active.
What to check
- Hand the master control back, if the operation requires it.
- Repeat the parameter operation — changing the number of CDS or copying from a CDS.
Acknowledging and restarting
Acknowledge the message to clear it; the acknowledgement is accepted immediately. Beyond that the manuals describe no reset steps — once the master control has been handed back, the parameter write is simply repeated.
What differs between the drive families
Straight from the manuals' own fields — F01515 is not described identically everywhere.

Questions technicians ask
What does SINAMICS fault F01515 mean?
A write to a parameter was not permitted because the master control was active — specifically while the number of CDS was being changed or a CDS was being copied.
How do I clear fault F01515?
Hand the master control back if the operation requires it, then repeat the parameter write. The message itself is cleared by an acknowledgement, which the drive accepts immediately.
Can F01515 also appear as an alarm?
Yes. The same condition can be signalled as an alarm (A) instead of a fault; the drive's configuration decides which form appears.
